Yeah, he's one of them quite possibly.
But aside from that, I don't think that simply killing myself and a crowd of other people for my religion is a way to become a martyr. Even so, there are many other ways to show that I love God without having to kill anyone. But I can't really tell what goes inside the mind of a suicide bomber or know their intentions for doing such a thing.
Do you accept that (in the majority of cases) the Muslims that have done acts like this have done so as a direct result of the book you worship?
Like the Bible the Koran can be interpreted in multiple ways. Some people choose to live in peace as it dictates and others want to blow shit up. They are both stupid but I would rather have one over the other.
Your half right. It's a mixture of the individual reading the Koran and the Koran's teachings. I can say "Allah wants me to love all of his creations." or I can say "Allah wants me to fight in his name." Besides... if I were brainwashed into thinking that I would be rewarded with 72 virgins in heaven I would blow everything up!
